If they drive off in a tiny toy radio control truck, yes.
Okay, I now have the mental image of a beefy scarred guy with tattoos and scars riding on top of a tiny RC car with a gleeful expression of childlike joy on his face.
You do realize I'm going to sit here laughing instead of sleeping until 5 AM, right?

On this note, actually, somebody needs to shop a picture of Barnes from Platoon onto one of those cars.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

*pulls out remote and turns off the truck*

How many remotes?

How many trucks?

Who gets the remotes?  If you aren't going to have a physical remote for each truck, how do you input the codes to pick the truck?  How do you make sure that the insurgents don't hack your method of sending radio to the truck?  How do you confirm that the right person is using the remote?  How do you confirm that no one else can duplicate this method?

How do you make sure that a prisoner doesn't dig out his control chip?  If you implant it at the wrist, so that he dies if he tries it (and some one will), what are you going to tell the folks back home?  What are you going to do about morale?  What are you going to do about that particular dead body?

Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Meh.  I'd already written that post, and then 12 people posted.  I guess I coulda just deleted it and removed the other considerations that had nothing to do with 40k, but whatever.

It seems almost warranted at this point due to the size of the derail, but make it a general photoshops thread. And that might actually exist in Creative Projects already, I don't know. Still, it seems to narrow a focus for its own thread.

Or the TF2 Heavy. That would suffice.
